Many might say gd as a field has been dead for quite some time. I agree with the opinion that it's just expanded into other disciplines. Is this board dead because designers are busy? or could it be due to the new generation of designers mostly being interested in asking to achieve certain "styles", "aesthetics", and "effects"?There's plenty for designers to still talk about. What design ideas do you wish you could talk about with others?
>>464482not many people like graphic design. i fucking love it. Also not many designers are that open to share how they do things either purely due to "art". Also everyone has a fucking opinion. I think people should feel like shit unlike >>464503Funny how I think AI is fucking great.
>>464505I just think non designers see graphic design as logo making.
>>464503designers do hate themselves, true.
>>464548You forgot pamphlets
Didn't AI kill graphics design in general? Now everyone is a graphics designer without having to learn how to use raster, vector or 3d motion graphics programs, and the audience couldn't tell the difference.
What's this effect called?
>>463654Dither? I hardly know her
it's a moustache.
>>464345I’m partial to Floyd-Steinberg out of sheer nostalgiaYou can try a bunch at https://guysie.github.io/opendithering/
just remember, you have to scale your image up before applying ordered dithering
>>464558I'm a big fan of Z1 an ordered stair step dithering myself. It has a very lithographic feel when compared to other rougher patterns.I usually run multiple passes when dithering to try and get the best results by over and under saturating an image then manually painting the finer details in by hand.
where does /gd/ pirate their fonts?i don't want to pay for an adobe subscription
>>464272 They use Oxygene 1 and Pusab You can find it on any generic font website. Just put "online font library" into your search engine and you should get some results.
>>464272>site:vk.com
>>464310I don't want to look at the site but I want a screenshot on the upload
>>464333and I want you to go fuck yourself
What is the next big aesthetic wave after Flat Design going to be? How much longer will Flat Design last?
>>463326this aesthetic is called 'metalheart' right?
>>464096ragebait?>>464097
>>456970the next aesthetic is going to be a frutiger aero + flat design like liquid glass, everything apple does is copied by everyone
>>462026>we globally prefer lying to ourselves by willfully accepting to call monopolistic datacenter-gigacorporations-with-insight-into-every-persons-character-and-life by their self-given names à la "social media" and "recommendation system" in exchange for them making us feel connected to the increasingly faceless system of symbols that is contemporary internet.wtf seems spot on
>>464546It's just the flat and rounded design we have now, but with translucency and transparency applied.
Hello, I'm making a card game, I can kinda draw but I can't into graphic design, can you give me some pointers for designing a frames for the card? Specifically a frame that fits with the art I made, which I'll post nextI won't go into the rules, but the information that needs to be displayed is:Card nameA number of maximum slots (think of it as equipment slots, stronger cards have more slots, going from 1 to 4)Two separate text boxes (if you are familiar with Digimon TCG, something like that)Power rating (single digit number)Pic rel is my attempt but I was told it clashes with the art
Art so far 1/2
Art so far 2/2
>>464499just use pokemon full art card as inspiration, like thefont, text outline and text placement

offtopic question, but why are there so many indian CEOs lately? i thought they were just good as cheap labor with minimal skills as a lot of them get fake degrees just to migrate to europe or canada.why would you put a jeet in charge of a company? microsoft, ibm, xbox, etc. just to name a few, all huge companies and they all have indian ceos. are there no qualified whites and chinks or what?
>>464542Indian ceos love short term profits at the expense of the company. This aligns perfectly with american shareholders who also want to extract profits while gutting companies
>>464544this. They don't give a shit about the long run and will do anything outside of straight up committing fraud (jeet scam behavior) to please shareholders. They'll take your company and turn it into a full scale slop generator as soon as they have any control over it.
>>464542Indians are insanely nepotistic, more than any other demographic that manages to get a foot in the door with white collar work. Also probably what this anon says: >>464544There are zero famous Indian CEOs of any hot company people are excited about. It's always rapidly enshitifying companies that have them. See Google and Microsoft.
Hello, anons of /gd/.What is the general opinion, and your personal thoughts, regarding this particular program?It it easy to learn it?
Work in a print shop and it is a great tool for people who don't know what they are doing but would rather learn and save a money and it saves me time. Even for basic GD use I would still recommend it - you don't need indesign to make a booklet. It is SO much better if we have to edit their design vs the same kind of people that buy photoshop and send shit layering with loads of transparency issues. Once they finish their project I tell them to just share via canva for us to download. 100/10 UI is also not bad.
The company I'm working for rn has their entire GD departement using Canva and while I think it's a solid option for beginner designers , I can't recommend it because a lot of the features end up being crutches that won't help you improve as a Graphic Designer .For example : a lot the GD team uses templates for their work , yet when I ask them do they know layout , spacing , safe zones and whatnot they dont know shit .Imo Affinity is wayy better as a free alternative
>>463635canva is just so god damn clunky
>>464580>>464603customer vs industry is pretty unfair...it actually sucks from a GD pov but from customer that knows jack shit, not that bad
>>464620>unfair
Best FICTIONAL sports team logos?
Well, I quit.Not because of that match, but because I'd already been planning it six months ago before we accidentally made it to Winter after that funny /mlp/ game. I can't even luckshit anymore, though, and Kerning deserves a real manager who can give him fun models AND manage games. I will admit I DO feel bad stepping away just as /3/ comes back, but them's the breaks.I'm not ghosting or anything, so if you need any files or stuff from me, I'll be around. I'll manage wiki autism housekeeping to close this run out, too; I was happy to indirectly cause some funny fluke games, but now I leave it to someone else. Exposure ain't paying the bills; see ya!
>>459963Never heard of that fighting championship.
>>459880the movie kinda sucks but the logo is legendary
I always thought these that the long-time previous manager did were neat, but the team will need proof of interest to play again in Autumn, I think. If there is interest, I will handle caretaking just for a cup or two. Though, I don't think white-text on yellow backgroud was a smart move.
>>459918I remember going to some museum that had these on display and all the Mexicans and Asians thought they were hilarious.I also know a Navajo woman who got butthurt that they got rid of the Indian head logo when the Redskins got rebranded as the Commanders and started an autistic campaign to call them the WarChiefs.
I'm trying to make fluorescent or holographic gifs like this using GIMP. Does anyone have any pointers on how to do this?
that looks like a lot of work in gimp or shoop. you might want to try video editor.
>>464571If I wanted to cut corners I could technically just fuck with the hue sliders and record my screen, but if there's a video editor that can do this I'm perfectly good with that as well.
>>464572yeah, but that getting back to a video editor too.i suppose if you could break it down to 4 or 5 layers and do a timeline for a gif in say photoshop its be easy to grind out and not take too long.guessing it wants a video editor that can automate changes tho

Where to find good drone music (preferably royalty free but not necessarily) to put in background of videos? Like the type that Lynch would use in his movies or that Flesh Simulator guy in his youtube videos, something that creates a nice hum that you can talk over
>>464578Sounds like you're looking for "dark ambient" music. Its free on many platforms.
that site i posted (necrosociety.com) - the collective has an EP dropping feb 14. their visual rollouts always match the site energy. everything they do looks like it was made by dangerous people
>>463651>ejection port on the wrong side and down into the magwellThis doesn't look like it was made by a dangerous person, it looks like it was made by a Russian pedophile who makes janky flashgames or a tranny who likes to imagine xherself as the protagonist of such a game. MSG/pre gay negative XP and Tzarbombah (aside from his latest album) both have good /gd/ which demonstrates why they were questioned by the feds.
Has anyone ever read this? thoughts? any books you would recommend instead?

>>464092Sam Hyde recommended it, make of that what you will.
How is this software on Linux for anyone who got it working? It is free and I think going back to GIMP just feels like being an abused GF going back to the psycho boyfriend for more abuse in the sense of being let down by GIMP.I'm a fa/tg/uy looking to make digital diorama pics where painted soldier models have muzzle flashes and filters to make the photos look cinematic.
Hi everyone, I recently started doing illuminated texts and I'm having a hard time with gouache and just being generally skilless. Is there any program out there mimicking aquarelle painting enough that it can help you practice? Rebelle? Krita? Corel painter? Using the new wacom intuosThank you
How do I explain to a church group why they need to change their entire branding? This is not a joke.
>>461090That's hilarious. Do not touch this miracle
>>461866help i cant find my church group online
you gotta be fuckin kidding anon
>>461090This is like the lead organisation for Taekwondo having the initials "WTF" for years until they finally bothered to change it.
christpill overload
